Abstract

Green development and green innovation are the requirements and choices of scientific development. Based on the inter-provincial panel data from 2004 to 2017 in China, this paper used the PVAR model to evaluate and analyze the interactive relationship between green innovation and green development. The results show that: (1) The interaction mechanism of the two is heterogeneous in different regions. The less developed the economy is, the greater the impact of green innovation on green development. However, the support of green development to green innovation is not significant; (2) In developed areas, the impact of green innovation on green development is not significant. However, a high level of green development is conducive to the output of green innovation. This article provides policy support for the implementation of green development strategies in different regions.
